This sermon, _“Jesus Arrives,”_ preached on January 5, 2025, at Christ Community’s Shawnee campus (during a weekend snowstorm!), launches the new series _“Who Do You Say That I Am?”_ on the Gospel of Mark. Preaching from Mark 1:1–13, it traces the beginning of Jesus’ ministry—the fulfillment of God’s promises, the preparation by John the Baptist, and Jesus’ baptism and testing in the wilderness.
I unpack:
- The explosive announcement of the Good News.
- John the Baptist’s role in preparing hearts for Jesus.
- The significance of Jesus’ baptism and wilderness testing.
- How Jesus’ arrival reshapes our understanding of God’s kingdom.
